Few minor modifications/additions/`bug-fixes` for PotC

Re: New interface - won't that require a new game? If so, it doesn't belong in B12.x, correct?

IMO I like BEST the way you can edit character and officer's names "on the fly", otherwise I rather prefer the older interface with the blue.
 
Shouldn't be too hard to sub in the old backgrounds and button graphics.
Haven't really looked at the new iface, but I don't know why it would need a new game--unless we're talking about added features (other than translation)?
(There's even 'room to grow' in the interfaces array.)
 
You mean added features like being able to edit yours and your officer's names MID-GAME? That's what this does, and it's kinda neat! You can hire someone and then give them a new skin (the one you prefer) and a new name! VERY cool! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
It is easy enough to replace the graphics of the interface, yes. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

They are all in the regular .tga.tx format and easily tracked down. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

I must admit I do like the light, blue tone as well - it makes it lighter, somehow... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

And I am all for renaming becoming available! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> Especially if I decide to do a gender-bender on my officers! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
I tried to do it several ways but for some reason I couldn't get it to work. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
 
You mean re-replacing the textures? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Same size (pixels) and the correct type of .tga.tx? I know I tend to mess the .tx up by (not) setting MIPS and all that... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> And it always makes me wonder, "Now what? I did convert that file already...!" <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
ISTR some color--the parametric highlighting/shading/whatever--is in the INIs.
Cat: That's a new interface. I mean like if he implemented a stats system that needs global variables and stuff.

BTW: I found out why the Quick-Equip button had stopped working. There was one particular piece of coding you changed in your most recent fleets-pack that stopped it from working. In my modpack I left it out, so it does work.
<span style='color:red'>Edit:</span> The code causing the trouble with the Quick-Equip button is this code in CharacterUtilite.c :

Regarding my two updates -

1.) The Fred Bob quest - yes, that's only a one or two line fix that will not break the quest with no new game unless you are past the point where it will work. If you are past that point, it won't matter. It's basically as Pieter says. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

2.) Animists questfix. HUGE HUGE HUGE Overhaul of this quest. Absolutely will be a gamebreaker if interrupted in the middle. There are a lot of checks that are dependent upon things that happened earlier.

I made the quest more understandable, added a little drama, and a new character (well old character, but new dialog) who you talk to on QC. Also you end up talking to townspeople in Greenford about Yedam Kinne (so you can find him), and several other little fixes that will make the whole quest a lot more play-able and fun.

The kidnapped Padre Domingues even appears in one of the cells in the Animists cave, at the end...

Darned proud of what I did to that quest to fix it, even if I DO say so, myself! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Argh. I hate how there's this number-of-quotes limit. Split into two halves.

May not need a restart in the absolute sense, but probably safest to do it that way because of not borking anything it might link to (and heckuva lot easier, too)

The latter is more of a prototype, yeah; the former I think is OK though, in terms of solidity; my only concern is the number of locs.

Well, a /practical/ one at any rate--you add too many and /none/ of them work, the bbcode isn't processed.
When you're doing line-by-line replies is about the only time there's a problem.
 
I couldn't find anything like that, only a restriction on the size of your posting. I increased that; perhaps it will help. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Pieter: YGM.
Also, did you have a chance to look at this ( <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=4322&view=findpost&p=116622" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?sho...ndpost&p=116622</a> ) post?

Also, folks, a few general questions from that that need to be answered still:
New Interface--in, out, toggleable, save for 13, what?
Assigning unique characters unique ships (example, Silehard and mow_gub or Petros's MOW). Whatcha think?
Assigning more unique characters unique skins/models. We have tons of new skins, and some will be used in the HKD quest?, and some already are subbed in--but there's lots more. So, anyone want to go and assign them?

Both those can be done retroactively with reinit work, so they're 12.2-specific questions as well.

Also, did you have a chance to look at this ( <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=4322&view=findpost&p=116622" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?sho...ndpost&p=116622</a> ) post?

Thanks for the mail Nathan. I'll be trying to make a proper merge later today. I just hope I'll manage. I don't know what stuff I need to leave out though. I'll be posting some stuff that needs to be changed later too. There are still some major bugs left; and I found a really insane new one: Slow-motion boarding. I saw that you set the worldmap to be at 0,5 X the original speed (why anyway?) and I reckon that might somehow have carried over to the boarding. Looks real weird when all them crazy French are running very slowly towards you and start to very slowly hack in at you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
I've had a look at that post yes, but I don't know what to say about it. I suppose you're quite about virtually all of it, but I understand hardly a single bit of it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

New Interface--in, out, toggleable, save for 13, what?
Assigning unique characters unique ships (example, Silehard and mow_gub or Petros's MOW). Whatcha think?
Assigning more unique characters unique skins/models. We have tons of new skins, and some will be used in the HKD quest?, and some already are subbed in--but there's lots more. So, anyone want to go and assign them?

I think it would be cool to toggle the interface; but the new interface must keep saying "Pirates of the Caribbean" instead of "Sea Dogs 2". I really dislike that SD2, because I really do like PotC. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
BTW: You ever noticed that the "About" button in the game's interface never does anything? What the heck is that button doing there in the first place? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
I reckon unique ships for unique characters would be real cool. I would also be happy to do some more character model switching. Should be easy and fun. I hope. Need to start playing the game again for that, so I'll know what characters could be used where... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Haven't used it so not sure.
If it's working out OK, then it could be added, but then again, if it gives a different look and feel, perhaps it should be used for Build 13, and not just an update.

However, the "change officers name" feature described should be included now, I think.

How unique should they be? I'd guess two is enough, three might be too much.
50_grey1 is Gregor Samsa, and looks like he is being used in HKD's quest as well.

I've been skinning females and there seem to be few unique female characters.
Anyone working on new quests should keep that in mind, and write in more ladies.

We may have to reassign gender to some characters.
I have an idea for Clare (Clair) Larousse, but I would like to see the male-to-female animation problem worked out first.
